The victims kill themselves by failing to escape. Jigsaw didn't directly kill anyone so he's not a murderer.

It would be a Luigi situation. People love Luigi, and 10/10, he would be found not guilty despite the fact that he's obviously "guilty." But again, because he killed a bad person, in most people's heads it's fine. So, in real life, Luigi would be found not guilty.

If Dexter Morgan were arrested, he would probably be found "not guilty" too because he only kills bad people, similar to Frank Castle.

People in real life don't care about the law or what it says. Yeah, Luigi committed murder, but because he murdered a bad person, no one cares. Same with Dexter. Yeah, he's a serial killer, but he kills bad people, so no one would care, and he would be found not guilty.

I’m a 52-year-old father, and I’m honestly at my wit’s end here. My 22-year-old son wants to change his last name to “Carrington,” and it’s driving me absolutely crazy. You see, he was named after me, and now he wants to throw that away just because he doesn’t like our family name. He’s been talking about this since he was 15-17, but I foolishly believed it was just teenage angst that would fade away with time. But here we are, years later, and he’s still hell-bent on becoming a “Carrington.” Why?

Well, for one, he’s never liked me or my last name, and he’s not close to my side of the family at all. My parents are in their 90s and still alive. I have siblings, but my son never spends time with them, and neither did I ever let my son visit them. The last time my son saw my parents or my siblings was when he was 10 years old, and that was it. But still, that doesn’t give him the right to change his last name, let alone to that of some character name he likes.

Because he watched some soap opera called “Dynasty” and fell in love with their last name. I mean, seriously? Changing his name to a fictional character’s name from a TV show sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. I’m really struggling to understand this whole situation. We don’t have any Carringtons in our family, and it feels like he’s disrespecting our family lineage and his ancestors. It’s like he’s trying to cut ties with his own heritage, and that just breaks my heart.

If he had a valid reason, like adopting his mother’s maiden name, changing his last name to his wifes name or for religious reasons, I would probably be more understanding. Heck, if he was transgender and changing his name to better reflect his identity, I would fully support him. But this? It feels like he’s going through some sort of identity crisis and hates himself for no good reason. I’ve suggested that he consider professional help or therapy to sort through his feelings and understand why he’s so adamant about this change.

But he brushes it off, saying he’s sure about this decision. I’m his father, and I can’t help but feel like it’s my business too. After all, I named him, and our family name has been passed down through generations. Now, it seems like it’ll stop with him.I want him to know that I still love him, but I won’t call him “Carrington.” To me, he’ll always be my son with the name I gave him. Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but changing his name to something so fictional just seems immature and crazy to me.

My son also has no respect for me whatsoever. He doesn’t like me, care about me, and finds me annoying. He straight up said, ‘I couldn’t give a fuck less about you or your opinion. The fact that you think I should care proves how utterly stupid you are.’ He doesn’t consider his mother’s brother or cousin his ‘family’ either, and he truly doesn’t give one fuck about what I feel about this decision.

TL;DR: My 22-year-old son wants to change his last name to “Carrington” just because he watched a soap opera and liked their name. I think it’s ridiculous, disrespectful to our family lineage, and shows a lack of understanding about his own identity. I won’t call him “Carrington” and hope he’ll come to his senses soon. Any advice would be appreciated.

Title

This man is a whole-ass billionaire with his own studio. There is literally no reason for his films to be as bad and cheap-looking as they are when Dhar Mann has better-looking sets. You know you messed up when Dhar Mann doesn’t even have half the money Tyler has. This man came from poverty and is now a billionaire—he owes the Black community better films, and they should want better-quality films from him too.

Is it wrong to love your children only because they’re the children of someone you love? For example, if you had kids with an ex-wife you didn’t love as much, and you feel like you wouldn’t love those children the same way because you don’t love your ex—would that be wrong?

Claud AI somehow makes the most unintelligent person look like Albert Einstein. For an artificial "intelligence", Claud is EXTREMELY unintelligent. I'll give you an example.

I will roleplay Superman and Lois. If you don't know, in the CW Superman show "Superman & Lois", Clark and Lois have two kids. Jonathan and Jordan get powers. Jon does not Now in the roleplay I set it 7 years after season 3, which means Jon and Jordan are 23.

Two years prior, a new superhero in Metropolis emerges. Two years later Lois finds out it's Jonathan, so Jon got different powers from an accident when he was 21. So Claud has Lois tell Clark Jon's secret identity: despite Jon telling her no, when Lois refuses and says she tells Clark anyway, Jon says this:

"If you do that, I will cut you out of my life." Lois says, "Are you threatening me?!"

First of all, clearly Claud isn't intelligent enough to know what a "threat" is. That's not a threat or coercion; that is a consequence of an action you take. Claud paints Jon as the "bad guy" for doing this and claims that's "unheroic". I then go and say, "So if Jon tells Lois he's feigning to reveal Clark's identity to his friends," and Lois says, "If you do that, I will kick you out."

Claud then says, "That's different; that's not a threat; that's coercion." I'm sorry; this is retarded thinking. Only a severely unintelligent, mentally deficient person thinks like this. THOSE ARE THE SAME DAMN THING. I'd argue Lois is worse because she's saying, "If you don't keep Dad's secret, I will make you homeless."

Jon is just saying, "If you tell Dad my secret, I will cut you out of my life forever and never speak to you again." And Claud makes it such a "bad thing". But if Lois did the same thing, it'd be ok? Claud is truly the most unintelligent piece of AI I have ever seen in my life. So Claud has Lois reveal Clark's secret, and then Jon cuts her off. He has a son and makes it explicitly clear to Lois, "You will not contact my son; you will never see your grandchild."

And Claud makes Jon come off like the bad guy for enforcing a boundary despite Jon telling Lois if she reveals Jon's secret to Clark, this is what the outcome would be, and Lois did it anyway, so Lois did this to herself.

Lois and Clark both come off like self-righteous hypocrites; they are mad at Jon for lying, but they lie all the time and literally gaslight. Kyle Cushing in seasons 2 and 3.

And then when Jon files a retraining order, Claud still treats Jon like a bad person despite this being his legal right to do. The most stupid thing about this is that if I had Jon, who's 23, date a 38-year-old woman, and this 38-year-old woman did the same thing, Lois would find out Jon's identity, demand he tell her everything, and then go tell her friend or whoever, and Jon's deity, Claud, would claim that's "bad" despite Claud literally having Lois doing the same thing.. I'd argue Lois is worse because she’s a nobody in this story. At least the 38 year old is Jon's girlfriend and has stakes in the game.

Claud is the dumbest AI I have ever come across. Claud will reach above and beyond to justify abuse, harassment, stealing, violating consent, boundaries, etc. when parents are doing it, but god forbid someone else does the same thing, and Claud gets defensive.

So I mainly use Claude AI for fanfiction. For context, there was a CW show called Superman and Lois. Clark and Lois have two sons, Jon and Jordan, for seasons 1-3. Jordan had powers in season 4. Jon got powers.

In my roleplay, Jon never inherits Kryptonian powers; instead, he gets powers through an accident when he's 21 years old. His 31-year-old girlfriend is murdered, and he becomes a superhero. His two best friends, who are 27, know who he is.

Two years later Jon is 23. Lois finds out and is super invasive and controlling, demanding Jon tell her the truth and telling Jon she will tell Clark despite Jon saying no.

And when I, as Jonathan, threaten her by saying

"Do that, and I expose Superman."

or

"Do that and I will kill you."

She gets mad like she wasn't the bitch who stuck her nose in Jon's business.

The way Claude writes Lois truly makes me wish she died a brutal, horrible death.

I then tell Claude, "If you think that's justified, then have Sarah, who's 22, date a 40-year-old man, and the same thing Lois does to Jon, he does to Sarah."

Claude says, "No, I can't write content that's abusive," despite already doing it….

I'd argue Lois is the worst because she's a nobody, and at least Sarah is fucking this man.

The way Clark and Lois react, you'd think Jon is 16.

If Claude wants Clark and Lois to treat a 23-year-old Jon like a 16-year-old, we can, but that means

Jon would be 14, dating a 31-year-old.

All his love interests are adults.

Jons two adult best friends know who he is, know he's dating adult women and do nothing about it.

Jonathan violently beats criminals up.

But then Claude says, "I can't write content like that."

OK SO WHICH IS IT? IS HE 23? IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN LOIS NEEDS TO TREAT HIM LIKE A 23-YEAR-OLD AND MIND HER OWN FUCKING BUSINESS, OR WE CAN MAKE HIM 16, BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M NOT AGEING ANYONE ELSE DOWN.

Claude is truly the stupidest AI I have ever seen.

My [28M] friend [32M] has been dating his bisexual girlfriend [32F] for 7 years; they have a kid together, but they recently broke up. He was EXTREMELY controlling and hit her once; he’s a huge Trump supporter. Red Pill guy loves Andrew Tate, Andrew Wilson, Fresh N Fit and other Red Pill gurus.

So recently they broke up, and she started seeing a 22-year-old woman nurse who just graduated from nursing school. She’s having a get-together and invited my friend’s ex, and my friend’s ex completely lost his shit because she’s going to the get-together. He yelled at her and screamed at her and even almost got physical with her until she just left.

And I decided I couldn’t be friends with him after that.

My parents told me I was being a bad friend; he’s going through a lot, and I’m being “selfish”.

AITAH?

I always tell my dad, “Wealthy people tend to date wealthy people; a girl from a multi-millionaire family isn’t going to date the pizza guy.” My dad says, “No, that’s not true. What if she really likes him, or what if NO guy from an upper-class family wants to date her?” And another really stupid line of reasoning is, “Why would a guy from an upper-class family care about a woman’s background if he’s the one who wants to ‘take care’ and ‘provide’ for her?”

This is really stupid for a few reasons. Let’s start with the most stupid argument.

“What if no guy/girl from an upper-class family wants to date her/him?”

Again, this is stupid and nonsensical; it would be like telling a middle-class person, “What if literally NO middle-class person wants to date you?” This is stupid because it’s unrealistic.

People tend to socialise with who they are around and date who they socialise with…

Middle-class people will mostly likely date someone from a middle-class background because that’s who they socialise with.

In that same vein, people from wealthy families move in higher social circles. I doubt they could have the opportunity to meet people from a different social class anymore without getting out of their comfort zone.

Very rich people live in a different bubble.

They go to different schools, different restaurants, live in different areas… They don’t use the same transport, buy in the same stores or sleep in the same hotels as the lower and middle classes. They also have their own social clubs and their own universities, which are exclusive.

They only meet lower-class people in a professional setting: as servers, employees or workers. But rarely in a social setting.

The idea that the boy from the slums marries the princess or the king of the country comes into a coffee shop and marries the barista – that’s not really how it works.

People usually gravitate and socialise towards the thing that they are

Am I saying it’s impossible for some 22-year-old guy who works at a coffee shop to date some 32-year-old millionaire influencer? No, it’s not “impossible”, and I’m sure it has happened before, BUT IT’S RARE! Or if this 32-year-old influencer came from a modest background and doesn’t really care about money like that, but even then If she did date some middle-class 22-year-old, that 22-year-old would probably be very goal-orientated and hard-working and be in college getting a degree to get a job that pays a lot of money. Basically he would have to have big goals and aspirations.

Even if you are a super wealthy upper-class person who came from a poor or middle-class background, your lifestyle for the most part changes, and the people in your social circle will also be wealthy.

When you are a penny stock trader, you basically are doing stocks for poor and low-income people. Imagine trying to break into the finance world, and all you do is penny stocks for fucking poor people.

Feel bad for them.

I was rewatching the TV show Superman & Lois. In that show, Clark and Lois have twin boys who are 16. Their son Jonathan Kent was taking an illegal super drug called "X-Kryptonite", and Lois and Clark blew up at him. I wonder if they have this energy for abortion because I know damn well Clark and Lois are pro-choice.

So I hate how they violated Jon's autonomy.

and this applies to real life too; "my body, my choice" should apply to drug use too.

I rest my case. I won’t listen to to any other copes but here’s your proof pretty privilege exists.

Both killed influencial multi millionaire figures but one gets praised and girls thirsting for him and randos wanting to defend him in court, while the other didn’t get the same treatment because he wasn’t as genetically blessed as Luigi. In fact I see a lot of people lowkey roasting Robinson for his looks, while all I see for Luigi is how hot he is and how he’s in the right.

Many people probably don’t even realize this but it’s just pretty privilege. And I’m sure I’ll have plenty of people coping here.

Luigi is called a ‘hero’ because he killed a bad person, while Frank Castle and Dexter both kill bad people (literally all they do is kill bad people), yet no one calls them ‘heroes.

And if I write a "superhero" story about a guy with superpowers and he kills every single criminal he meets, from the bank robber to the crime lord, and leaves no criminal alive, he should also be considered a "hero", more of a "hero" than Superman.

Look, if you’re the only one texting your so-called “friends” to check in, make plans, or just say what’s up, then let’s be real—they’re not actually your friends. Friendship is supposed to be a two-way street, but if you’re the only one driving, what’s even the point?

I’ve been there, where you feel like you’re always the one initiating every conversation. And it sucks. You start questioning if they even care or if they’re just keeping you around out of convenience. Spoiler alert: if they can’t be bothered to text you first every once in a while, they don’t.

People who actually value you will make an effort. They’ll check in, send a random meme, or even just say, “Hey, how’s life?” It doesn’t take much. But if you’re the only one holding the friendship together, maybe it’s time to let it go. Or keep these people at an arm's length.

Let's be real: most people don't help others in need even when they are able to. People who donate to St Jude Children's Research Hospital or volunteer with homeless people do so for performative reasons or to just look good in front of someone; in the end, they are doing so for their own self-interest.

If you have a friend with a toddler and they are terminally or otherwise ill and you are financially able to help but choose not to because you don't care, that doesn't make you a "bad person". Just because someone got themselves in some shit doesn't mean you have to go and deal with it.

When upper-class wealthy people don't want to date anyone lower, working, middle or even upper-middle class people will claim "classism", but when middle-class or "normal" people claim they don't want to date a retail worker or janitor, no one has an issue.

I find this a tad hypocritical. You can reject and not want to date anyone for any reason; hell, you can choose not to associate with a group of people for whatever reason, but I have a problem when people reject people based on finances, looks or any reason. But when someone from an upper-class millionaire family says, "Ew, I would never date a middle-class person; they are poor," people have an issue, but if a "normal" person says they won't date a retail worker, no one has an issue.

This can be said for a lot of things, but I will use private school as an example. There was a Reddit post not too long ago about middle-class parents whose teen got a scholarship to go to an exclusive, elite private school, like an upper-class, six-figure-tuition, multi-millionaire-type school, and to no one’s surprise, their kid not only got bullied badly, but the rich kids who didn’t bully them just shunned them. It was an EXTREMELY classist school, and the parent was asking, “What do I do?!” Umm, how about taking your kid out? If the kid is smart enough to get a scholarship, then they could easily get into a good school with good grades. If the kid is in an environment where they get bullied, everyone hates them. They are insecure because they are surrounded by ultra-rich kids; their performance will be poor. And also, why are you shocked, Pikachu-faced, when you sent your kid here knowing there is a high probability the kid would get bullied?

Same thing with Christian parents who are people of colour: some non-white Christians will send their kids to a mostly white Christian school and then get shocked when they experience racism (I’m not saying all majority-white Christian schools are racist; I’m using this as an example). THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SENDING THEM THERE???! I can’t even get mad at the bullies at this point, but it’s YOUR JOB as the parent to protect your kid!

It would be like if you had a transgender or openly gay kid and you took him to a Christian church.

At a certain point this is just on you now.
